5G Transport & Networking Strategies

A Light Reading Event

5G Transport & Networking Strategies

With the completion of 3GPP Release 16 this summer, 5G moves into an exciting new phase of advanced use cases and rich possibilities for consumers and, increasingly, enterprises. To meet these demands, however, operators must invest in the network connectivity that will underpin 5G, for both today’s and tomorrow’s services.

For the last three years, 5G Transport & Networking Strategies has focused on this critical topic and has been on of Light Reading’s fastest growing and most engaging live events. This year, the event moves to a virtual format, but it retains the same commitment to high-quality and tightly focused content that Light Reading uniquely delivers.
